Merchant navy officer whose eyes are bandaged during a meteor shower, sparing him from blindness. He rescues an orphaned girl, travels across England to France, survives a triffid-infested château, aids a blind couple, fights off triffids with a makeshift flamethrower and loud noise, and is ultimately rescued by a naval dinghy.
Masen assists Teresa in childbirth and later protects her from a triffid attack at a coastal villa.
Both navigate the global catastrophe independently but share the core objective of reaching safety and preserving human life.
